Michigan Notable Books: author interviews
Every year, the Library of Michigan selects up to twenty of the most notable books, either written by a Michigan resident or about Michigan or the Great Lakes. Each selected title speaks to our state’s rich cultural, historical, and literary heritage and proves without a doubt that some of the greatest stories are found in the Great Lakes State. This year, the statewide tour of notable authors has gone online, with a series of recorded interviews. For more information about Michigan Notable Books, click here. You can also search our catalog for a listing of Michigan Notables available in our collection.
Luunappi: Date to be announced
Luunappi means “a snappy sound to the ear.” It also means music and rhyme and tall tales. Join our old friends Patrick Niemisto and Norm Wheeler online for a morning filled with songs, stories, and poems for families. There is no cost to attend this virtual program. Zoom login information will be announced once a date has been finalized.
